Question

2 (x − 3) = 5x − 3 (x + 2)

Answer 1

0=0

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−3)=5x−3(x+2)

(2)(x)+(2)(−3)=5x+(−3)(x)+(−3)(2)(Distribute)

2x+−6=5x+−3x+−6

2x−6=(5x+−3x)+(−6)(Combine Like Terms)

2x−6=2x+−6

2x−6=2x−6

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

2x−6−2x=2x−6−2x

−6=−6

Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.

−6+6=−6+6

0=0

Answer 2

Not Possiable

Explanation:

Step 1:

2 ( x - 3 ) = 5x - 3 ( x + 2 )

Step 2:

2x - 6 = 5x - 3x + 6

Step 3:

2x = 2x

Answer:

2x cannot equal 2x
